Patent number: 10913628Abstract: A deskew module of a valuable media depository is selectively controlled to operate in two deskew modes of operation. One deskew mode of operation selectively activates a single angle drive idler in a first cell while simultaneously activating a single straight drive idler in second cell, which forces the media to self-align against an edge of the deskew module for exiting the deskew module deskewed.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Benjamin T. Widsten, Jason Michael Gillier

Patent number: 10692332Abstract: Systems and methods for rejecting a media object may include receiving the media object. The method may also include engaging a drive member to translate the media object. A sensor may be activated to detect an abnormality in the media object. Upon detecting the abnormality in the media object, the drive member may be engaged to reject the media object.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Benjamin T. Widsten, Sandeep Singh Gill, Jason Michael Gillier, Derek Kursikowski

Patent number: 10364122Abstract: An infeed module of a valuable media depository is configured to track media edge detection during ejection processing. When sensors of the infeed module report conditions that would otherwise indicate that media has exited or been retracted back into the infeed module during ejection processing, reporting of the conditions are delayed or modified based on a tracked edge detection status. Thereby permitting the infeed module to perform proper ejection processing on both windowed and non-windowed media regardless of the dimensions present for any windowed portions of the media.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Benjamin T. Widsten, Husameldin Ibrahim, Matthew Gordon Sonnenberg, Yunus Tatar
-
Patent number: 10266358Abstract: A deskew module of a valuable media depository is selectively controlled ejection processing. Upon detection of a jammed item of media within the deskew module, angled drives are activated to lift a jammed corner of the item off a track base of the deskew module and free the item's jammed corner. Next, straight drives are activated to eject the item from the deskew module.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Benjamin T. Widsten, Sandeep Singh Gill, Jason Michael Gillier
-
Patent number: 10167152Abstract: A media separator module of a valuable media depository is selectively controlled to detect folded media and selectively eject the media or preform double feed recovery processing based on a fold type detected for the media.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Benjamin T. Widsten, Frank B. Dunn, Jason Michael Gillier
-
Patent number: 10106352Abstract: A media separator module of a valuable media depository is selectively controlled to progressively and selectively activate drives for double feed media recovery processing when two items of media are detected within the media separator module.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Jason Michael Gillier, Benjamin T. Widsten

Patent number: 9714149Abstract: Systems and methods for deskewing a media object may include receiving, at a deskew of a self-service terminal, the media object. The method may also include engaging a drive member to position the media object into a first position within the deskew. A deskew member may be engaged in a first direction to position the media object into a second position within the deskew. The deskew member may be engaged in a second direction to position the media object into a third position within the deskew.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Jason M.
